Archer vs Joby: Who Has the Better Motor?
In November 2022, Archer unveiled motor performance data during their Open House and Midnight Unveil Event. Six months later, in June 2023 at the Marina Production Launch, Joby released motor performance data, too. This video examines the electric motors by Archer and Joby, the two frontrunners in the eVTOL industry. We start with a high-level analysis of their relative benefits and drawbacks, scoping our analysis to their torque and power densities. The intention is to open a broader and more detailed technical discussion. Finally, we conclude with an answer to the question: who has the better motor?
